I have several holiday themed novellas, an anthology or two, and a couple holiday themed books I’ve been saving for this event.

 



 

Next up is NetGalley November, hosted by Laura from Bookish Treasures, Kayleigh from K-Books, and Faye from A Daydreamer’s Thoughts. This one’s pretty self-explanatory. It’s good motivation for me to clear a few NetGalley titles out of  my Kindle.

 

Last but not least, we have the Clean out your E-Reader Challenge hosted by Berls from Fantasy is More Fun and Michelle from Because Reading is Better Than Real Life. I’ll actually be hosting a mini-challenge the last week of November for this event! Here are all the challenge deets:

 Go through your E-readers and select the FREE OR NEARLY FREE (up to $5 will be accepted) books you’d like to read during the challenge. The book must have been free, (Kindle Deals, Netgalley, Etc.) Anyone caught not using a free book or a book that is pirated will be removed from challenge.

• Sign up with the linky below letting us know that you plan to participate. Then,on November 1st create a post announcing your participating with a list of books you plan to read during the challenge. A starter post will be posted at 8am on November 1st with the review link. Link your participation blog post there. Links not live by the end of the day (11:59 PM PST) November 1st will be removed. Your book list doesn’t have to be set it stone it can change along the way, just be sure you’re still reading FREE books.

• Start reading your free books (starting November 1st) and reviewing them, either on your blog or Goodreads (blog will give you more traffic). Put the link to your review (to the review URL, not your Web Address) on the review linky available November 1st, listing your blog name and the name of the book you reviewed. When you write your review, be sure to include the challenge logo and linky at the end so that we can all check out the reviews.

• To enter the giveaway: every day you post a review of a free E-book, enter the link (to the review URL, not your Web Address) on the Rafflecopter available November 1st (1 link per blog, per day) to get an extra entry in the giveaway.

We’ll also be having a Twitter Party (Date TBD) – while your reading your free E-books or posting your reviews be sure to update us on Twitter with #COYER!

What will your goal be?

Lightly Clean – 1 to 5 E-books

Spring Clean – 5 to 10 E-books

Deep Clean – More than 10 E-books

My goal for this event will be 5-10 e-books. I think all three of these will be good together. The only obstacle to any success will be…

Yes. I am actually going to attempt NaNoWriMo this year. And try to tackle these wonderful reading challenges. And keep up with everything else – work, blogging, food, and maybe even a little sleep once in a while. There’s a slim chance I’ll actually succeed with NaNo, but I’ve been saying I wanted to try it for years. What do I have to lose, right?

Sorry…couldn’t resist this one

So are you joining in on any of this fun?
